Planet Rock, the UKâ€™s classic rock station is celebrating Jimi Hendrix by airing an hour long special on this phenomenal guitarist. Planet Rock talks to a whole host of guitarists who tell the station why Jimi Hendrix is â€œThe guitaristâ€™s guitaristâ€.

The likes of Black Sabbathâ€™s Tony Iommi, Journeyâ€™s Neal Schon and Queenâ€™s Brian May (to name but a few) each give their point of view and experiences of Jimi Hendrixâ€™s music and tell us why he is such an extraordinary player. The show will also feature some of his all time classic songs as well as new ones from his brand new album â€œValleys of Neptuneâ€, released Monday 8th March.

It is 40 years since Jimi died and his legacy still continues.
